    "content": "Hon. Members, you may recall that on Tuesday, 24th September 2024, this House negatived the Question for Second Reading of the Mung Beans Bill (Senate Bill No. 13 of 2022). Consequently, the Bill was referred to a mediation committee pursuant to Article 112 of the Constitution and Standing Order 149. Further, you may recall that on Tuesday, 8th October 2024, I reported to this House a Message from the Senate conveying that on Tuesday, 17th September 2024, the Senate rejected the National Assembly’s amendments to the Equalisation Fund Appropriation (No.2) Bill, (Senate Bill No. 30 of 2023). The decision of the Senate remitted the Bill to a mediation committee pursuant to Article 112 of the Constitution. Article 113 of the Constitution requires that whenever a Bill is referred to a mediation committee, the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament shall each appoint an equal number of Members to attempt to develop a version of the Bill for consideration by the Houses of Parliament. In this regard, Hon. Members, I have consulted with the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party and the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party and appointed Members to represent this House in the respective mediation committees to attempt to develop versions of the two Bills that both Houses will pass. With respect to the Mung Beans Bill (Senate Bill No. 13 of 2022), I have appointed the following Members— 1. Hon. Justice Kemei, MP; 2. Hon. Gabriel Kagombe, MP; 3. Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi, MP; 4. Hon. Monicah Marubu, MP; 5. Hon. Jared Okello, MP; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
